Hello ladies, can I ask...did i send 'past/ present' out to everyone or just a few? because the bit I am just writing seems to be a 'prequel' to it so I don't know whether to add it on ? hmmm...or just do something different ...

It is tough, isn't it Daff? I have written my little piece in the third person, well that's the way it turned out and I was more comfortable with that. Like standing back and looking on. XX

I still can't get my brain into gear.... is it all right if I hang on to it for another day or so... it has been very hard to do, I have found!

Hardest has been striking the correct balance... flippant, is how I am getting it... or it descends into Greek tragedy, lolol

Love

I will be sending out comment on all your work, I promise. I've just had an epiphany with my coursework, so to strike while the iron is hot....I really have to get on with it.

Off to the shops now for a very important book...lol

Morning all.... I am having a huge problem writing about me, per se..... I am fine fictionalising various incidents, lol.... but not personalising.... it has been a good exercise for me......

I shall try to finish what has been going around in my head - sleepless night, not the fault of the assignment, lol, but it was instrumental in me digging out and reliving obscure memories and emotions from the past.

Some of them are very good stand-alone subjects though..... and they are the interesting bits... I would hate to bore you all with the humdrum!!

So... I may be a bit late... I have to go and play row your boat now, and then going to catch up on some more sleep.....

Love

Daff xxxx

Hello Maggie, I love it! I had some Haiku poetry published in the school magazine about a century ago.

If I can find it I will submit it - I know I still have the mag. somewhere - but you haven't seen my attic. ! :((

Might be a bit late sending my set peice out this week, been busy on other things.

But how about we write a short peice about ourselves this week. What is our earliest memory? Use as much description as you can, show rather than tell, and let us see it from your eyes.

That can be done as poetry too, for those who prefer, in which case usual rules of poetry apply, whatever they may be lol

Stella, it is either or both hun, it's fine. Send what you want when you want basically. There are no real restrictions on how much you send, we only put specific days to give some sense of order, because we were getting our inboxes filled every day and never seemed to come to the end of commenting...let alone writing our own lol.

Have a lovely time Ann, see you when you get back. Take a notebook.
